Summary of Synthesized Information
Theme: The theme of Mo Willems books are never give up on what you are trying to do. I think this beacuse in one of his books like in the book the pigeon wants to drive the bus he wants to drive the bus and the bus driver says no and no every time but the pigeon never gave up. Another reason is that in book 2 they never gave up on trying to let the elephant bother the pigeon.
